HrierlY on Law.

EDITOR HERALD Il propose to
briefly answer the balderdash and
frantic efforts at wit OF my esteemed
Falstaffian friend who styles himself
John r. Briefly, in yesterdays issue
OF the Times. This obese and inane
scribbler is ungrateful to the HERALD.
Times agone said Briefly was absent
from Los Angeles some week or
two. This return was heralded in
this modest sheet, and he was desig-
mated as General Briefly; although
he "never set squadron in the
field" He has since exulted over the
military title SO conferred upon him.
Well may one exclaim, "How shaper
than serpent's tooth, &C."
Then my corpulent lawyer intim-
ates that the HERALD borrowed its
legal inspiration from "some assistant
of the legal profession" Brierly's
seat in the Lower House OF the State
Legislature for single session has
not converted him into lawyer.
He speaks quite learnedlv OF the Con-
stitution OF the State. venture the
opinion that my distinguished and fat
friend has never read a word of that
fantastic document. Now, will give
my friend piece OF delicate informa-
ton. The original bill amending the
election law required the polls to be
opened at z A. N. and closed at 6 P. NJ.
This was the bill that passed the
Los e. House. 1t was engrossed to
read the polls must open at 6 and

THE man who does not think him
self qualified to discuss the comIlica-
ted question of the tariff, is as hard
to find as Diogene's man. The one
who is SO qualified is a rarer discovery.
A Washington dispatch to San Fran
cisco paper gives this as the views
Senator Chace of khode Island, on the
proposition to make wool free.
There are now in this country, in
round numbers, 100000 flock own
ers who own over 3.O00.0n0
sheep and produce 1926 0Oo 600.
pounds OF wool, worth $40, 600 600.
1t is hard to say what the Senator
from Rhode Island was thinking Of.
There are 600 900 persons engaged
in the sheep and wool hu -iness OF the
country. This does not include man
ufacturers. 1t is estimated that the
industry involves a capital of $780,
0l0.0o0. The import tx by which
wool ia now protected amounts to So
900 900 annually. There are about
45 200, 900 sheep in the United States
The wool clip is pretty accurately
given by Senator Chace at 1926 900 600.
This is little over seven pounds per
fieece-not an overestimate. This
whole business is largely "all cry and
no WOOL" so far as the country is con-
cerned. Taking it as it stands, the
capital invested averages but $500
per capita of those engaged in the
bu. mess. In 1883 the tariff on wool
was reduced by the Republicans.
This was done in the interest OF the
New England 'ufacturers. At a
very rapid pace the land in all parts
of the Union is becoming too valuable
TO be used as a sheep pasture. In
California wool-growing has been
superseded by more profitable enter
prises within the pat ten
years, until now, what was once
one of our greatest Industries
has come to rank as comparatively
unim portant matter. Wheat grow
ing, fruit raising, vineyards and kin
dred lines OF agriculture drove nearly
all our fine focks off to Texas. The
duty on the fibre had nothing to do
with this. We cannot in any portion
OF the United States long compete
with Australia and the Cape in the
production of wool. From this time
forward sheep for mutton will greatly
outrank in profit sheep for wool.

TEE Southern Pacific freight ex-
hibit for November is published, and
like all its predecessors furnishes
some very favorable hints to our
merchants. The main shipping points
of this corporation in the State are
San Franrisco, Oakland, Los Angeles,
Cotton, Sacramento, San Jose, Stock
ton and Marysville, From several Of
these cities products of our soil are
forwarded which grow hundreds OF
miles nearer Los Angeles than to the
place where they are rehandled for
Eastern shipment. For example,
San Francisco is credited with 2,60l,-
700 pounds OF beans. These are grown
in counties adjoining ours, and they
should pass through here as the
natural point for their wholesale handl-
ing. In the same category is honey
aggregating 55 500 pounds for the
mouth. The same is true of 10000
pounds of mustard seed, and 1872 800
pounds OF nuts. Oakland gets credit
for IS, 800 pounds Of nuts, all Of which,

THE city election has been settled
as it should have been settled. The
fellow who was going to contest the
matter has consulted the books Of
wisdom in an emphatic manner by
never being born-speaking meta
phorically. Mr.. Daley, the City
Attorney, has done what all who
knew him expected he would do-the
straightforward thing. He even finds
that the Councilmen-elect will be de
jure officials; this means that the
election is perfectly valid. We are
not a lawyer, nor the son OF a lawyer,
but SO the decision it seemed to US
from the first should be, on grounds
of good common sense. The law
seemed to bear out this view. But
of course, in the mazes Of statutes,
O Unions and discussions of courts, it
is very easy for the lay mind to get
lost. The able decision Of the Attor-
ney in this case proves, however, that
in this instance such was not the
case

The incoming City Council may
signa'ize its coming into power by a
reform most wise and which will meet
with the undivided approval of the
people. Very recently the portion cf
the city lying east of Main street and
south of Second street was almost en-
tirely given over to the production OF
fruit, vegetables and wine grapes.
But the rapidly growing population
has reached out its arms in all direc-
tons and claimed this area for re.i-
dences. When it was the garden and
orchard of the city water for irrigation
was matter of exigent demand.
Time out Of mind the fructifying fluid
ran in open bitches, and half Of it was
lost by seepage. Then came the wood
en- Hume, but this, leaked at best, and
at worst was liable to rupture, which
spilled the stream far and wide where
1t was not wanted. Therefore, some
time back large sum OF money was
voted to cement the bitches from
the poppleus part of the city to the
gardens and orchards. These bitches
are now being constr ucted at vast ex-
pense. 1t is money thrown away
The cement aqueducts will notreach
gardens filled at all seasons with the
succulent vegetable crop, nor will
they find orchards laden with luscious
fruits. They are being built to the
doors of "palatial residences" as our
reporters call them, or to orchards dead
by reason of neglect. or to vineyards
where surveyors stakes are frequent
as the vines. Open bitches are of no
practical use under such circum-
stances. What these sections OF the
city now need is water piped under
high pressure, 80 as to put the fluid
into the bedchambers in the third
stories, or through hydrants and fire
engines when q confagration is under
way to reach the topmest apex Of
some fine dwelling. Let the new
Council look into this matter and it
will find the HERALD is correct. Call
. halt on this cement ditch business,
and get the water piped under press
ure to a portion of the city rapidly be-
coming filled with dense population.
